In the Spotlight

Petter and Luba are in the surrealist city of Barcelona to attend the opening of Petter's photo exhibition, "Luba My Love," at the Galeria Fotonauta, Calle Vic 15, Barcelona.

The show opened last night (March 26), but will remain up until early June. The collection being exhibited features images from the book, "Luba," by Petter, which is now in its 2nd edition printing and will be available again in May. Looking up to the white galleries walls and seeing Luba there larger then life was a dream come true for this life long couple.

A lot of friends and professional acquaintances have come out for the festivities. Sometimes shows are a lot less about the work and more about connecting with all the people who have helped make the art a reality along the way. Many of Petters greatest supporters and fans came to Barcelona to see the living and breathing photographs hanging on the walls. The gallery wall is after all where art is supposed to be enjoyed.

Enjoy the Show!

A Life in Pictures

Luba and I left sunny and warm Algarve to arrive in a rainy and cold Barcelona, but the warm reception we felt from our "hosts," Joana and Santiago, who met us at the airport, made us forget all about the weather and opened our eyes and hearts to this magical city of art and culture.

We headed straight from the airport to the gallery and got a sneak preview before the grand opening. I was very excited by what I saw because I had only seen the gallery in photos, and the framing and hanging process had been handled by the staff. But there was no need to worry because they had done a fantastic, professional job. The show and the gallery are both brilliant. To see over 30 large photos of Luba decorating the clean white walls made me feel so proud. And I could tell from Luba's smiling face that she also loved it.

At 9:15 on Friday, March 26, Luba and I arrived at the gallery, and it was so packed we could hardly enter. The rest of the night was a total joy ride. Congratulations, interviews, and speeches, and, of course, we ended the evening in true Barcelona fashion - at a Tapas Bar with Spanish "vino rojo" in our glasses. I want to extend a special thank you to Joana and Santiago for a perfectly arranged show and a wonderful experience, and I wish you all the best for the future. Enjoy the photos from our little trip to Barcelona, which you can see here. Unfortunately, our stay must be limited to only two days, but after seeing it once, we will definitely be coming back many times!
